NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bsdcpio package and not the bsdcpio package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The process_extra function in libarchive before 3.2.0 uses the size field and a signed number in an offset, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted zip file.
